Explanation / Answer

1)) Null hypothesis: H0: the average amount of fungal spores in the air is not differed in different time of year (Season).

Alternative hypothesis: H1: the average amount of fungal spores in the air is differed in different time of year (Season).

2)) Here, Fungal spores (colony forming units or CFUs) are the dependent variable whereas time of the year (season) is the independent variable.

3)) the ANOVA (Analysis of variance) test tells you whether you have an overall difference between your groups whereas post hoc tests find which specific groups differed. Firstly, you have to show that there is an overall statistically significant difference between group means. The, you can run the post hoc test. These tests also known as the posterior tests.

Here from the table, we can observe that ANOVA is statistically significant (0.014 for season). Now we can apply the post hoc test.

4)) Now, we calculate the effect size:

Effect size = (Treatment SS for season)/(Total SS) = (Between SS for season)/(Total SS)

                  = (8236359.250)/(14360589.75)

                ² = 0.5735

This is a large effect. Thus we can say that 57% of the change in the amount of fungal spores in the air is due to the seasons.
